Overview
Join to apply for the
PCBA Manufacturing Engineer, Project Kuiper
role at
Amazon . Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband network. Its mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers and communities around the world, with a system designed for capacity, flexibility, and performance to serve a wide range of customers, from individuals to organizations in locations without reliable connectivity. Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. As a PCBA Manufacturing Engineer, you will work across design engineering, supply-chain, quality, and manufacturing partners to drive Project Kuiper electrical sub-system and PCBA manufacturing and delivery. You must be able to dive deep on technical details, apply a system-level approach to prioritize issues for the program, and use data to drive manufacturability, reliability, and quality objectives in design and development teams. Responsibilities
Work with the Design Engineering team to provide PCB/PCBA DFM feedback. Identify and escalate PCBA manufacturing challenges early in product development. Drive the PCBA Manufacturing Qualification process at the contract manufacturer. Define manufacturing readiness requirements and lead milestone reviews to ensure production readiness deliverables are complete. Investigate and develop new manufacturing technology and methodologies to enhance PCBA quality, reliability, throughput, and cost. Drive closure of all operational issues during pre-production builds. Collaborate with Operations, Supply Chain, R&D, and Reliability Engineering to implement and optimize manufacturing processes and improve yields for production ramp. Investigate failures/defects in production, test, and integration. Identify and mitigate root causes to prevent reoccurrence as part of continuous improvement. Identify opportunities for risk reduction and simplification of PCBA manufacturing processes. Deliver manufacturing process capabilities including equipment capability, quality controls, materials characterization, and standardized rework practices. Actively monitor the success of products and processes through production ramp. Provide regular status reports of PCBAs progress from design to production. Deploy and qualify polymerics (staking, underfill, and conformal coat) equipment for high-volume production. Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Manufacturing/Mechanical/Aerospace/Industrial/Electrical) or related discipline, or equivalent experience. 3+ years of experience in PCBA/PCB production, processes and manufacturing engineering. Experience in board assembly processes and equipment: stencil, paste print, SPI, pick & place, SMT reflow, AOI, 5DX, selective solder, flying probe, and wash. Experience leading DFX reviews for manufacturability, testability, quality, and reliability. Experience working independently and ensuring timely and accurate communication with contract manufacturers, suppliers, and third-party test and failure analysis partners. Ability to lead small teams in root-causing technical product manufacturability and process problems and drive implementation of solutions. Strong interpersonal and collaborative skills with enthusiasm for innovation and improving manufacturability, quality, and reliability in cutting-edge technology. Strong writing skills. Preferred Qualifications
Master’s Degree in Engineering (Manufacturing/Mechanical/Aerospace/Industrial/Electrical) or related discipline, or equivalent experience. 5+ years of experience in PCBA/PCB supply chain, manufacturing or engineering. 3+ years’ experience with industry-standard PLM and DFX systems, Mentor/Valor preferred. Experience performing Design and Process Failure Modes and Effects Analyses. Experience with IPC-A-610H Class 3, IPC J-STD-001H compliance. Experience in polymeric application, including conformal coating, staking and underfill. Experience in solder alloys including leaded and lead-free as well as next-gen low temp alloys. Experience with flying probe test systems and DFT. Knowledge of quality tools such as Lean, Six Sigma, root cause analysis and corrective action, APQP, metrology, PFMEA, control plans, and problem-solving approaches. Experience providing hands-on experimental design and execution (statistical analysis and DOE).
